【連署】Asking for International Support for Korean Film Makers' Struggle

Dear friends, colleagues, fellow scholars, professors, and intellectuals.

On behalf of Screen Quota Action Alliance (Alliance of the Korean film milieu, which opposes screen quota reduction and a Korea-US FTA), I am asking you to help Korean film makers and their associates in their effort to protect Korea's cultural identity and the world's cultural diversity by keeping the present Screen Quota System intact in the country. Most analysts of Korean cinema today agree that this system has been instrumental to rendering Korean film robust and competitive against the world-dominant Hollywood film. In the midst of an attempt to further the neoliberalization of the country, however, the South Korean government now plans to reduce the mandatory 146 days of screen showing--with exemptions, the days can be reduced to 106--reserved for Korean film to only 73 days.


It is feared that this measure will create a dire situation not only for the Korean film industry but also for the entire Korean population. The screen quota reduction deal is part of the negotiation now in progress to complete the Free Trade Agreement between South Korea and the United States. A careful analysis of the international relationship in North East Asia shows that it is the US not South Korea that wants this deal. As is well known, the US attempts to impose the neoliberal world order everywhere possible. This time, the US uses the leverage of its military might, imposing "strategic flexibility" and threatening the security of North Korea. To maintain stable condition in the Korean Peninsula, South Korea has to accept the terms the US set for the FTA. Of course, the South Korean government has its own neoliberal schemes. By accepting the US preconditions, it hopes not only for peace in Korea, but also for a neoliberalized North Korea, which will be a boon for South Korean chaebol corporations as well as US capital.


The impact of the FTA will be dire. It will certainly devastate Korean film, irreversibly damaging Korea's cultural independence. But this is not all. The agreement will polarize the population in both Koreas. In the mean time, the US may gain its strategic flexibility and succeed in maintaining China, but this may lead to an increase in the military tension, intensifying the arms race in the region. Our effort to keep the Screen Quota system is thus part of the social movement against global neoliberalization pursued by the US. We sincerely ask you to show your support and solidarity for our struggle against neoliberalism. For a detailed analysis of the question of quota reduction, please see the attached materials.


In order to submit the attached letter of comments signed by you to the House during its public hearings, which starts on March 24, please send it to us through our e-mail([email protected]), fax((82-2-319-2039) by noon (in Korean time) on March 22.

理解與和解：回應諸批評兼論「區域批判知識份子」  

趙剛                    2006/2/12

最初，寫作此文只是要回應崔衛平女士的大作〈有感於趙剛批評龍應台〉。但在提筆時，適逢龍應台女士發表了〈請用文明來說服我──給胡錦濤先生的公開信〉。對這篇文章，我既有複雜的感受，又有清楚的不同意，特別是關於現代化意識形態以及如何在區域間發言的看法，也就是所謂「區域批判知識份子」的問題。因此，透過回應此文，我進一步發展了我先前在〈和解的壁壘〉一文中曾表達過的一些想法，並作為回應崔衛平女士、林達先生，等批評者的平台。

神棍訟棍美麗島

"心似已灰之木，身如不繫之舟。問汝平生功業，黃州惠州儋州。"

這是蘇東坡在生命的最後一年,從海南流放回來時,拖著病體面對自己的一幅畫像,所吟的詩句.

今早初醒,在寤寐之間,突然閃現這麼幾句--

"心似已灰之木，身如不繫之舟。問君平生功業，神棍訟棍美麗島。"

遂記於此.
